Need advice on selling some car wheels

[Titan]

Many of you guys have way more knowledge about all things automotive that I do so I hope you can help.

When I bought the wife's '06 toyota Camry (new) I had the stock steel wheels and hubcaps replaced with nicer aluminum wheels. They are essentially brand new. The darn things have been stored in my garage ever since and I would love to sell them and get 'em out of my way. They're taking up space in the Valk's slot! Now this is Valk related.

I suspect the 15", 5 lug steel wheels would fit a lot of different cars. The hubcaps of course probably would only appeal to a Toyota owner.

Any idea what would be a fair price to ask?

I've never sold anything on Craigslist and don't have a clue what they should sell for.

     Shipping is your problem. You need a local sale. Do you know what you want for them? That's a starting place, and then figure the real value is the tires. Try to set a price below what it would cost a person to go out and buy the same tire and have it mounted and balanced. JMHO

And make sure that they are round all the way around too!

Perhaps this will help.  They might even buy them.

I'll give you $100.00 cash for them if you'll meet me half way with them next weekend...I looked and its 282 miles from my home town of Clinton , TN to Lexington , SC.

I don't think he has the tires on the wheels.  No mention of them at least.

If thats the case I'll pass...I was looking to score a good deal on some new meat for the ol'lady's Camry.

If it is rims only it is a tough sell.  They will not fit a variety of cars because all of the newer front wheel drive cars require hub centric wheels for a smooth ride.  That is the center hole of the wheel fits perfectly and tight over the hub of the car.  Older cars were lug centric, meaning they centered off the mounting lugs.  In areas with winter weather some folks are looking for an extra set of rims to run snow tires on, so we are getting close to that time of the year.  I buy steel OE take off wheels for my customers from an outfit in Sacramento for $20 each wholesale delivered to Reno, Nevada.

This set is just the steel OEM rims and the plastic wheel covers. No tires.

The links posted by Jess gave me some good information on what dealers sell them for. I'm way surprised to see that they sell anywhere from around $75. to around  $100 bucks! Sheesh!

Somebody told me the other day that those plastic wheel covers sell for over a hundred from the dealer. Ridiculous!

I'm certainly not looking for top dollar. Just want to get rid of them for a fair price. I'll try the dealer and see what the parts sell for and cut that way down and put them on craigslist for a local sell.

Thanks for the advise folks!
